Claude Almansi on 30 Aug 14"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly By Florian [Schmidt] On October 8, 2013 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Why Crowdsourcing Needs Ethics Abstract This position paper for the workshop CrowdWork 2013 discusses some of the ethical implications of crowdsourcing in general and of contest-based crowd design in particular, especially in regard to the question of fair payment. The paper establishes four different categories of crowdsourcing with separate ethical challenges and argues for the crowd work industry to develop a code of ethics from within, in order to counter the exploitation and abuse that it often enables."
